Back to school... boo hoo or hurrah!

Whether you're counting down the days until the the kids go back to school or squeezing every last bit of fun out of the summer holidays, the start of term is a time for fresh starts and new experiences.

Not wanting to be left out, we've got our own equivalent of a new school uniform with our fresh look to the autumn issue of Kent Family magazine and our website.

We often receive interesting information that we just can't fit in the magazine or last minute news of family-friendly events and activities so we're always looking for ways to share this with our readers. Hopefully, through the wonders of social media, we'll be able to bring you that information through tweets, blogs, posts and feeds.

As Kent parents ourselves, and particularly thrifty ones at that, we're always amazed at the wealth of support, activities and events for families in Kent, many of which are free or affordable. So friend us, follow us, check the website and hopefully we'll have some great local news for you too!
